Good day golfers. Well, can we finally say it? Summer Is Here! With high temperatures forecast for the week it is time to get the shorts and t-shirts out and put away the base layers and work on your golfers tan! Obviously here at Cleobury we pride ourselves on our customer service and excellent value for money.

We have had a lot of positives comments about the course and club as a whole recently and I will let you in on a little secret.

Like any successful business the foundations are built on communication. Myself, Tom, George and the whole greenkeeping team have weekly meetings to discuss the business and how we can drive it forward prioritising tasks to keep everything running smoothly.

With some top dressing due on Monday and then bunker sand for the end of May CMGC will be guaranteed to be top condition for the season. Pictured below is the first tee on Badgers Sett ready for the biggest charity golf day in the West Midlands. The Adam Millichip Foundation Event has over 250 player with the first tee at 7am running every 8 minutes until after 3pm! A lot of work has gone into the day from members Mark Fish, Stuart Millichip and Mark Benbow. A full report on the day and money raised will be featured next week.

Aimpoint Putting Day

We have just 8 places available for this session on Wednesday 22nd June running from 3pm until 5pm at a cost of £99 for the course with coffee after.

Aimpoint is an incredibly accurate green reading system, it deals with the slopes on the green and the speed of the green. If you are a golfer who struggles with this part of your game we would strongly suggest you sign up for this course.

As mentioned just 8 spaces are available, please contact Amy or Dave to book on.

Although a little cold and in between some hail storms the first summer invitation was a huge success at Cleobury Mortimer golf club with the popular Texas Scramble format.

Youngsters Josh Rowbotham, Harry King, Alex Barnes and Louie Edwards birdied 2 of the last 3 holes to leave them with a nett score of 60 which was enough to give them second place outright.

The day however once again belonged to Adam, Ash, Matt and Lewis, this deadly four ball were once again taking advantage of the quick greens and lush fairways on their way to a nett 57.5 to take top spot. It has been a great spell for these lads with many team wins over the last six months.

The lads had this to say:

'It was not a vintage performance from us but around the greens we were deadly, some big putts were held. We did not think it was enough to win which shows how tough the course is playing at the moment'.

Look the part this summer and play the part. £10 per holder, definitely an investment worth making!

Amy's PGA Training

1st Year PGA Training Completed!

Summer is upon us and that means my 1st year PGA training is completed!

Last week I took my PGA exams at the Belfry on Golf Coaching, Applied Sports Science and Golf retailing and with some heavy revision in the weeks running up to them. It was a long day starting at 9 with 4 exams finishing at 5. I feel positive about my results and will receive them in July.

With excellent grades in all my assignments ranging from Merits to Distinctions, it's been a really great year and I've learnt so much! My lesson tariffs will be released soon and I'm so excited to the summer and teaching some of you. Look out for some advertisements very soon!

With the season now well and truly kicking off now is the time to get your game into shape. The course and conditions have changed quite dramatically over the last three weeks with more roll on the ball, firmer bounces and quick greens. Therefore it is imperative your game is ready to suit these conditions.

Bert Ferguson has just completed his Lucky 7 and kindy sent me these words.

'I approached Dave as I was struggling with my short game, I decided to try the Lucky 7 package and Dave put a structured 7 week program in place. Dave has restored my confidence in my driving and short game, I am very much looking forward to the summer months. I would certainly recommend Dave to anyone golfers looking to improve in a well managed and structured way'.
